Pinkie and Twilight were running in the forest as the sun rose even higher.

"Why do we have to run!?" Twilight shouted exhausted ten meters behind from Pinkie.

"We can slow down if you want. I just thought it would be good if we keep moving. We can't know are we followed at right this second." Pinkie said.

"Well how about if we would walk lustily forward." Twilight said.

"That's okay too." Pinkie said and catch'd up with Twilight.

They continued their walking forward and avoided to stay still too long. After walking a half an hour more, they arrived at forest end and a large plains opened wide around them. Like they would have been teleported to another place within a seconds.

"Wow... These areas here sure do change quickly." Twilight stated.

"You're right." Pinkie said. "I think we should walk alongside with the forest line as long as possible, it would be more safe than going out on the plains where were no shelters.

"I thought that same too." Twilight said.

They walked alongside with the forest line and keep an eye out for any movement. Pinkie took her bow and were ready to shoot everything moving object. Twilight took her sword out and hold it as she would have been prepared to close combat.

They walked some more until the forest line came up and there were more plains, but this time there were some rocks to use as the cover. Pinkie signaled to Twilight that we will run fast towards those rocks and try move behind them.

Twilight nodded and then Pinkie gave a hand signal and they started to run towards the rocks.
As they ran behind obe rock and noticed that no one hadn't see them. Both of them sighed in relief and continued their careful sneaking between the rocks.

As they moved along and soon arrived to another forest, but this time it wasn't so thick. There were growing lots of less trees unlike the other forest where they had been.

"This is good, it's more safe in the woods than on a plains." Pinkie said.

"Agreed." Twilight said.

Soon as they had entered into forest they saw another team there. It was the pigtailed one and her teammate.

"Hurry, behind the trees." Pinkie whispered. As Twilight were just about to get behind the tree, she heard loud voice yelling, "Hey, there's that nerd! Get her!"

Suddenly Twilight were taken over by fear and she couldn't move. She knew her life was now at risk.

Luckily for her Pinkie got her back and aimed straight to pigtailed girl. While she was avoiding the arrow Pinkie pulled Twilight with her. At the same time other one of them ran different way.

"Twilight, you need to focus on this. Where's the other girl?" Pinkie said.

"How I'm suppose to know! I'm just a lonely nerd who had no life." Twilight said crying.

"You need to stop that now! I can't hold them forever." Pinkie said and shot again towards pigtailed girl. "Twilight, you aren't just a nerd. You have a fighter's soul inside you, you just have to show it."

"You think so?" Twilight asked.

"Yes I do. Just trust yourself and go get her!" Pinkie said.

"Get who?" Twilight asked.

"That other one, I'll take care of that pigtailed." Pinkie said.

"Alright, I'll do my best." Twilight said and stood up and ran after the other girl.

Aria were behind the tree and took her radiophone. "Lemon Zest! What's taking you so long?" Aria said at the radiophone. "I'm in a bad pinch here, so get your ass here and help me'"

"Fine, I'm right behind that glassed nerd." Lemon Zest said.

"Good, you better kill her." Aria said and put the radio phone off. Aria took two kitchen knives at her pockets and prepared to attack. Aria took deep breath and then she charged.

"Die you son of a bitch!" She yelled as she ran towards Pinkie. Pinkie tried to shoot her, but missed all of her arrows. Aria were skilled and dodged every arrow that came towards her.

Pinkie noticed that she was out of arrows. "Ugh fine!" Pinkie said and just when Aria was about to get her, She swung the bow against Aria's face and Aria lost her grip of the knives. Pinkie quickly took one of Aria's knives and said, "C'mon let's fight like an old fashioned style."

Aria stood up and wiped the blood off of her mouth and said, "You got it!"

Lemon Zest were just about to slash Twilight with her sword, but Twilight hear'd a crack as Lemon Zest stepped on the branch. Twilight quickly turned around and dodged the slash and hit her back at her leg.

Lemon Zest started to scream loud in pain as the blood started to bleed and she took few steps behind, but lost her balance and fell down on the ground.

Twilight watched as Lemon Zest were lying on the ground holding on her leg and crying, then she looked at her bloody sword. Twilight started to feel sorry and instead of killing her she ripped off her sleeve and bound the wound. "I won't kill you, I just can't. Please go while you can." Twilight said and help'd her up.

Instead of thanks she quickly felt enormous pain at her chest. She looked down and saw large wound, then she fell on her knees and hold her hands at her chest to avoid losing too much blood. "Why... you.. did this..?" Twilight asked in pain.

"You were so foolish that you help'd me. Thanks anyway, shame I will kill you now." Lemon Zest said and raised her sword ready to slash Twilight's head off.

But when she were just about do it, Pinkie ran towards her Aria chasing her. She quickly grabbed Lemon Zest's waist and brought her down. Pinkie stood quickly up on her feets and went towards Twilight.

"Twilight! We need to get out of here!" Pinkie yelled.

"I.. I.. think I have lost.. too much.. blood" Twilight said coughing.

"Don't worry, I'll take you safe." Pinkie said and grabbed on her and started to run holding on Twilight's hand. But Twilight couldn't keep along with Pinkie very long, because she had lost so much blood that she were just about to lose her consciousness.

"Hang in there!" Pinkie said and soon found a cave. "Over there!"
She then dragged Twilight with into the cave and put her lying on the ground. Pinkie opened the bag, but couldn't find anything to use with bandage.

Then Pinkie ripped her sleeves off and used them as bandage like Twilight did to Lemon Zest. She quickly bound the wound and calmed Twilight and at the same time watched to the cave entrance. "It's gonna go be alright, just rest." Pinkie said quietly.

Aria and Lemon Zest were trying to find them.

"Damn! i can't see them anywhere around." Aria said to Lemon Zest.

"Aria, I were about to die, but then that nerd girl decided to help me. It was her biggest mistake." Lemon Zest said.

"No it wasn't. She is still alive." Aria snapped.

"But the wound, it's too damn big. She can't survive no longer than half an hour." Lemon Zest said. "So she's pretty much dead."

"Better be." Aria said and looked around.

They walked straight past the cave where Pinkie and Twilight were hiding and continued their searching to deeper into woods.

In the cave, Twilight had fell into deep sleep and Pinkie looked eye on her. Hours passed and the air started to fee colder, so Pinkie decided to make a fire pit. She gathered some of dry leaves and sticks. Then she used two dry sticks to make fire. It took two minutes until Pinkie were able to get fire, but when she did she quickly put dry leaves first and then she put some stick on.

Slowly but surely, the fire were growing larger and larger. Soon the cave feel'd lot more warmer than before.

After a few hours Twilight feel'd warm and she opened her eyes. She saw Pinkie sitting next to fire and making sure it won't go off.
"How am i still alive?" Twilight asked.

"I bound your wound, but you fell into deep sleep. You have been sleeping couple of hours." Pinkie said putting more sticks into fire. "It got little bit cold so I made a fire to warm us."

As Twilight stood up to sit, she felt incredible pain on her chest. "This all is my fault." Twilight said holding her hand on the wound. "If I had just killed her, we wouldn't be in situation like this."

"You had chance to kill her?" Pinkie asked.

"Yeah, she were lying on the ground in pain. I just couldn't kill her, I felt bad for her so I help'd her. That was a mistake." Twilight said and were starting to cry again. "Maybe... maybe.. I shouldn't have joined in this game. Why didn't I listen my parents." Twilight cried and tears streamed at her eyes.

"Hey, it's okay. This just tell's that you are a good person who wouldn't want harm anyone." Pinkie said and put her hand on Twilight's shoulder. "But sometimes you have to do these things, so you could survive. They aren't gonna show any mercy, so we can't show any mercy to them."

"Maybe you're right, I have to get strong and put away my feelings. It will just lead to my death if I let my good feelings take over." Twilight said and wiped her tears and stood up to stand. "C'mon Pinkie, let's go and get them."

"Twilight, you should rest." Pinkie said trying to stop her.

"I feel better and besides I have some unfinished business with that girl." Twilight said and grabbed on her sword.

"Well, if you say so, but don't take unnecessary risks." Pinkie said and took the backpack and her arrows and bow. "Sun is setting, we might surprise them for good."
Then both of them walked out of the cave and started to seek those two.

It had already been half an hour since they left the cave and sun were just a small spark at the horizon. Sky turned dark blue and stars came on the sky. They walked behind the trees and crept behind the rocks to avoid being noticed.

"They have a good head start since we were several hours in the cave." Pinkie said almost whispering.

"You're probably right, but why are we whispering?" Twilight said whispering.

"To avoid being noticed." Pinkie whispered.

"Oh, yeah. We're sneaking." Twilight said quietly.

Silently and smoothly, both of them moved in the dark forest as like shadows.
They didn't have to walk long until they found those two earlier from this day.

They had done a fire and sat around it talking something.

Twilight accidently stepped on the branch on the ground, but went soon laying on the ground.

"Did you hear that?" Aria asked.

"Hear'd what?" Lemon Zest asked.

"I think we're not alone here." Aria said grapping on her knives at her weist.
Lemon Zest took her axe out.

"Where'd you got that?" Aria asked.

"It was lying on the ground." Lemon Zest answered.

"Okay... whatever, be sharp as knife." Aria said.

"Roger that." Lemon Zest said.

Soon after that an arrow flew right between her legs and when she looked between her legs, another arrow flew and went right trough her left arm. "Damn It! Fucking hell! It hurts!" Lemon Zest screamed and fell on the ground. tears were streaming at her eyes and she couldn't do anything, because the pain.

Aria went behind the rock and looked at the way where the arrows had flew.
"Where the hell is she shooting from?" She said as she avoided flying arrows.

Lemon Zest was lying on the ground and were screaming in pain. Aria couldn't help her because it would get herself killed.

Twilight were sneaking behind the Aria as she were focused at the flying arrows.
Twilight raised her sword and were ready to slice Aria's head off, but she made a mistake. She stepped on the branch and Aria heard it and turned around. Aria quickly drew her knife out and cut on Twilight's leg.

Twilight started to scream and dropped her sword and fell on the ground.

Aria walked towards Twilight and kneel'd down. Aria put her knife on Twilight's throat. "Any last words?" She asked.
Twilight breathed a lot and started to sweat.

"So you are scaring death that much?" Aria asked sarcastically and grinned. "Well then, I will make you suffer before you die."

Aria cut on Twilight's left arm slowly and painfully. Twilight cried even louder and Aria's smile only grew. Then, when Aria was about to cut Twilight's right hand, arrow flew right through her stomach.

Aria stopped for a while, she dropped the knife and looked the arrow that were sticking out of her stomach. She slowly turned her head back and saw Pinkie standing there. "You... son.. of a.." Aria tried to insult Pinkie.

Pinkie walked to Aria and kneel'd down next to her. "That's what you get for hurting her." Pinkie said in her ear and took a knife and stick'd it right through her neck. Aria's lifeless body fell on the ground.

Pinkie stood up and walked to Twilight. "Here, take my hand."

Twilight reached her right arm and got a grip of her hand. Pinkie raised Twilight up and said, "You okay? You're bleeding."

"I'm fine." Twilight said. "But what happened to that other girl?"

"I killed her too." Pinkie answered. "She had a medical supplies and luckily for us, bandages." Pinkie bound Twilight's left arm and her right leg.

"I wonder what kind of those others are, I mean these two were bad enough." Twilight said as she were sitting and Pinkie were bounding her right leg.

"I don't know, but what ever they will be, we need to be ready." Pinkie said and finished the bound.

From sixteen contestants fourteen remained. Lemon Zest and Aria Blaze are out of the game.
And the screen where the all contestants head icon were, Aria's and Lemon Zest's icons were crossed over.

"Looks like our first team has been knocked out." Johnny said.

"Indeed, this is just the beginning." Tommy said.
